How Much Does a Rewire Cost in Milton Keynes?
Nobody can tell you over the phone, and anyone who does is guessing. A rewire is priced on the number of circuits, the number of sockets and lights you want, how easy the floors and walls are to get into and whether you are living in the house while it happens. Two houses on the same street can be a long way apart on all four. John surveys first and then gives you a fixed written price, so the number you get is the number you pay.
What is worth knowing is where the differences between quotes usually come from. One quote may include a new consumer unit and another may not. One may include making the walls good and another may leave you with the chasing open for your plasterer. Some include the certificate and the Building Control notification, some treat it as an extra. Get all of that in writing on every quote and you will find the cheap one is often not the cheap one.

Your questions, answered
Is a partial rewire cheaper?
Yes, quite a bit, and plenty of houses only need one. If the ground floor was redone in the last twenty years and the upstairs was not, there is no sense replacing sound cable. Testing tells you which it is.
Why will you not give a price over the phone?
Because it would be made up. The honest version is a free survey and a written price. A phone number that changes on the day helps nobody, and it is the most common complaint people have about the trade.
Does a new consumer unit come as part of it?
In John's quotes, yes. A rewire that leaves the old board in place is not really finished, so it is included rather than added on later.
